“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The Eastern religions exaggerated the importance of unity, almost losing the concept of individuality in the process. [...]

[...] Unless negative beliefs stand in your way, then creative ideas that you contribute to the work will automatically take care of your needs, and it is truly idiotic to want to substitute that good fortune for such parochial concepts like the male as breadwinner, or the male performing in a given definable fashion. [...]

[...] (With continuing amusement:) To enjoy your work was suspect—and if you enjoy unconventionality of mind, some leisure in which to contemplate the world about you, then it is about time that you dismissed such parochial concepts, and realized that there is no moral rectitude given them. [...]

[...] The time concept in dreams may seem far different than your conception of time in the waking state when you have your eyes on the clock and are concerned with getting to some destination by, say, 12:15. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s physical condition becomes a materialization of those concepts, exaggerated, so that he is not able to go forth in the world, believing the polarity so great, with him and subjective activity having the disadvantage.

[...] Your own physical vigor is there, and can express itself, comparatively speaking —comparatively speaking—with far greater ease once you rid yourself of those polarized concepts and the disapproval that goes with them.

[...] Now within that one reality you have reincarnational selves, they belong within the concept of that existence. [...]

And I know I am only going to confuse you but if you have probable selves then you know there are probable universes and probable earths and probable histories of your earth and you see what this is going to do to your concept of reincarnation as you now hold it. [...]

We must unfortunately often deal with analogies, because they can form bridgeworks between concepts. [...]

[...] Physicists and parapsychologists have suggested various sorts of minute and undiscovered entities (mindons, psychons, psitrons, and so forth) that can move backward in time relative to our conscious conception of what time is, or that are at least free of our idea of a time that flows inevitably forward. [...]

[...] The psyche is presented with its own concepts, which are instantly reflected in dream situations and other events that will be explained shortly. [...]

That kind of structuring also does a disservice, however, for it prevents you from coming in contact with your own original concepts. [...]

(4. The counterpart references are a good example of how Seth weaves such concepts into a discussion.

[...] Only your concepts limit your understanding of that prime freedom.

Those kinds of conflicts can only exist in a society in which the entire concept of creativity is segmented, in which the creative processes are often seen as inner assembly lines leading to specific products: a society in which the very nature of creativity itself is largely ignored unless its “products” serve specific ends.

[...] Toward the end of the session she received a feeling, a concept, from Seth to the effect that she shouldn’t feel bad at the short session. [...]

The Sumari language itself will help Ruburt by freeing his concepts, and release him from the almost automatic process of translating data into stereotyped English terms. [...]

[...] In most instances the possession concept makes it all the more upsetting. [...]

[...] People who are acquainted with undistorted versions of love in their relationships would find such a concept impossible. [...]

(10.30.) I hope to give you more sessions on the nature of events, in a package, so to speak, though Ruburt will have to be at his best since the concepts are so difficult verbally.

[...] I hope to make this clearer to you, but it involves part of a larger concept for which you do not now have the proper background. [...]

[...] But at the time of this session, he told us all we could understand, while he began slowly to build up the necessary background and concepts.

[...] This is an erroneous conception. [...]

[...] However, you are at present imprisoned within this false conception of yourself—and within this prison, you do not think of others except as they are related to yourself. [...]

[...] The intellectual concepts will be enlarged in all areas—the scientific, metaphysical, psychological and psychic. [...]

There will also be, and there is, practical information to be used in daily living, and concepts put in somewhat simpler terms for those who will find them valuable and effective. [...]

[...] Such ideas involve the physicists’ ongoing conception of the duality of nature. [...]

[...] Such concepts in association with electron spin may be dealt with in the literature of physics, but are unfamiliar to me or outside my limited understanding. [...]

[...] It’s like concepts that I have to unscramble. [...]

(Now for two concluding paragraphs of commentary and reference: Jane’s statement that the four-fronted counterpart self persists outside of space and time implies a contradiction, of course — but this situation is one that we, as physical creatures, will in some manner always have to contend with when we encounter certain of Jane’s and Seth’s concepts [including that of the four-fronted counterpart self]. [...]

(9:36.) This is the reason why some scientists who either write or read science fiction, are the most incensed over any suggestion that some such ideas represent a quite valid alternate conception of reality. [...]
